I have seen video that says putting the clothes out in the sunlight helps, but idk how you will do that in England lol

My mom used to make me hand wash the baby's clothes that got poop on them😅
But simply put them in the sun, and it should disappear. The sun does something to it. I don't know what I just know it works

Oxy or sometimes if it’s really orange/red a dishwasher tablet works to soak it in! Xx

Wash immediately and use a stain remover

Oh I had to bleach them then wash them 3 times

Stain remover and the UV helps to break it down. The yellow is from bilirubin, that's why jaundice babies are placed under UV lighting!

Vanish will be your best friend. Just keep an eye on how long you do the soak. If soaked for too long it can make things look a bit tie dyed/blotchy 🤣 But the poo stains will go.

Wake windows

Is anyone else's baby having really random awake and nap times? I know wake windows aren't a science and I only use them as a rough guide but my daughter (15 weeks) was working towards a nice 4 nap schedule with 1.5-1.75 hours between naps, lately we've gone back to 5 naps most days (she is a chronic cat napper) but the last few days its been all over the place! Today she had 30 min, then an hour awake, then 45 minutes, 90 min awake, 45 minutes, 2 hours awake and has just gone back to sleep again now. Anyone else?

Weaning

What bits has everyone bought to start weaning baby? Also does anyone have any weaning book recommendations?

Wearable breast pump

Hi.
I'm reading a lot about how important to establish the milk supply. I really want to exclusively breastfeeding and I want to make sure I have enough milk, but I read the wearable breast pump can mess up the supply? It's not as simple as more you pump more you able to produce? Or I'm just think its that simple? What is your thoughts/ experience on this?

Triple Feeding 🙃 Nipple Shield Weaning ? Any success stories !??

Hi everyone. My baby girl was born on 25th September at 34 weeks (she was 5lb 5oz) and we spent a couple weeks in hospital afterwards. Initially for the first 7 days she was tube fed and we were discharged triple feeding, so I breastfeed (have only had success with a nipple shield 🙃) then I top up with 45ml breastmilk afterwards and then pump. This is not sustainable long term but I guess I'm just looking for any success stories from doing this?!? I don't really know what to do, she doesn't transfer milk very well whilst breastfeeding as every feed takes a good half hour per breast (if I manage to get her to latch) and then she needs the top up after. It all feels a bit pointless using the nipple shield but she is completely reliant, has anyone managed to wean their little one off? I went to a breastfeeding clinic locally and found it a bit stressful so don't really want to go back (I just had a lady trying to shove my boob in her mouth for 20 mins without a shield whilst she screamed hysterically). I don't really know what to do and just feel like I need some reassurance to bin it all off and transition to formula maybe? Or shall I wait it out??

She will be 4 weeks on Friday and is now 5lb 14oz (up from 5lb 5oz).

Sending hugs to all you September mums 😄 xxxx

4m sleep regression

My daughter is 16 weeks old now and prior to about 2 weeks ago she used to be such a good sleeper at night. One maybe 2 wakes at most and she slept through the night a handful of times!

Since she hit 14 weeks, everything changed 😅 she wakes up constantly all night, 5-10 times a night.. I’m exhausted! I think the 4 month sleep regression came a little early for us ?

We’re 2 weeks into it now with no sign of it getting any better, how long can I expect this to go on for? Will she ever be a good sleeper again? 😫
